Key Glock Arrested on Felony Firearm, Marijuana Possession Charges

UPDATE: On Tuesday afternoon (May 14), Key Glock was released from jail. Walking out of the Miami-Dade Corrections & Rehabilitation Department, Glock clutched a newspaper as he flashed a smile and made his way out.

According to his entry in Florida's Miami-Dade County inmate database, Key Glock, born Markeyvius Cathey, was charged with carrying a concealed firearm, possession of marijuana over 20 grams and "cannabis poss more than 20 gr/armed," according to the inmate information. The bond for the first two charges is $5,000 each, while the last, which appears to be a charge of having more than 20 grams of marijuana while armed, is set at $7,500.

In the state of Florida, the first two charges are prosecuted as third-degree felonies. So Glock could be looking at serious time if he is convicted.

At press time, it's unclear what led up to the arrest, but in previously-released footage of the arrest, the Memphis rapper can be seen sitting on the sidewalk next to another man—presumably a member of his entourage—before he's taken away in cuffs. One onlooker shouted "Free Key!" as the rapper was escorted away.
